I like this topic because it gets closer to how mining actually works in the real world. A lot of people read generic advice and assume the answer is always hardware or always pool-side, but in practice it can be wallet format, DNS, latency, stale behavior, unstable power, or simple operator error. The more details people share, the more useful this thread becomes for future readers.

I agree with the general advice here, but I would also check the wallet address, worker naming, and temperature at the same time. A lot of people focus only on the connection and miss something obvious.

Same issue here. The miner looked connected, but it turned out the worker format was wrong.

It helps a lot when people include what symptoms they saw, what they tested, and what actually changed the result.

This is a strong SEO-style topic because it matches the real questions miners keep asking again and again.

This is exactly the kind of question many new miners search for before they commit money or hardware.

I think the most helpful answers here are the ones that explain what to check first, not just the final fix.

A practical comparison with real setup details would make this thread much more useful for future readers.
